Oops, didn't see this till I'm at work. I'll scale it up for you later on and post it here. Locally, your gonna have a hard time finding Brown malt and Crystal 120 in stock. Same for the Magnum and Goldings hops.

I've heard great things about Dennys recipe, so if that is his, I'd stick with it. I'll post possible hops substitutes that we are likely to have in town.

In my experience, 30lbs of grain is just about all I can put in my keg converted to mashtun. Your gonna be close, but I think it may fit.

looks like you're going to run close to forty pounds of grain. If this recipe weren't so tight I'd tell you to roast some pale malt at 350 degrees for ten minutes to get a substitute for brown malt. The 120 crystal you'll probably have to order online.

Well, I think you may need to do 2 batches, I come up with 34.55 pounds of grain, which I believe is too much to fit in your tun. It should just about make it if you use somewhere between 1.5 and 1 quarts per pound.

23lb 10.2oz 2-Row pale
4 lb 8.7oz Munich
2 lb 11.6oz Biscuit (sub for Brown that the LHBS has in stock)
2 lb 11.6oz Crystal 60 (sub for the Crystal 40 and crystal 120 that the LHBS has in stock)
15 oz Chocolate (14.5 oz in conversion, and .5 oz to make up for the lack of crystal 120)

1.86 oz Magnum
0.93 oz EK Goldings

Take into mind that those are the actual calculated numbers, personally, I'd round things a little for easier measuring. Again, check with Marcellos to see what hops they have in stock, or what the sub might be. I gave Kevin a chart a while back that is on the hop fridge there that should help.

I really want to do 10 gals. and I'd rather do it all in one shot.

So, I guess I'm thinking of 1 of 2 options.

Either,

2 mashs to get one full boil, as Redtail suggested.

Or,

going with a recipe with a smaller grain bill.

What do you guys think?

Also, the wife Okayed me to have some people over.
Let me know if you are insterested.
